Happy 25th Birthday!
#1

Happy birthday to my Mistress...built 2/94.

 

the 968 now has 91,800 miles, of which I have driven 75,500.

 

I think this qualifies as the longest relationship I've ever had (except for my direct family).

 

I've had so much joy in the 19 years that we've been together.

 

Jay

No such thing in my 968 . Maybe the car is sensitive about age and shed that sticker . Also explains why my 968 is a lot faster than all other 968s ; it's the weight savings ! ;-)


Weird, I have to check the other 968 to see if that sticker is missing also , but that car is still at the mechanic .


Anynother way to find out which month the car was made ?

Send your VIN to your friendly parts man at a Porsche main dealer and ask him for a print of the cars details

Our cars are growing up. Mine turned 25 in December delivered on the 27th. Not sure when the C2S paint was ordered, it must have been in the late fall of 1993. As you can see from the sticker it was manufactured in November of 1993 as a true 94 model (Check VIN) and not a 718 model. I find it impressive that they could finish the car in November, ship it to the US and deliver it in Joplin MO at the end of December.

Waylander - you might keep in mind that those "details" are part of the Certificate of Authenticity, for which Porsche normally changes a fee of about $100.

Yes but as they no longer do the certificate over here, the parts man is your best bet

I don't know if anything has changed, but when I got the COA for my 912 from PCNA back in the 90's, the only details that were on it were color, chassis number, engine number, transmission number. It didn't list the interior color/material or that it came with the optional 5 gauges and gas heater.

Not sure either if the $100 investment is worthwhile.

If you recently bought your car, do a search for your VIN. I discovered that the PO had asked that forum for my car's build information a couple years prior.
